Individual Therapy
Individual therapy isn’t just about talking—it’s about being truly heard. For teenagers, it can be a transformative space where they can explore who they are, process tough emotions, and build healthier ways to cope without the pressure of judgment or expectations. Adolescence is a whirlwind of identity, relationships, and “what am I even doing?” moments—and therapy offers a steady place to land amid all that chaos. I focus on creating a safe, inclusive environment where every young person, especially those in the LGBTQ+ community, feels seen, respected, and supported exactly as they are. Therapy gives teens a voice, practical tools, and often a sense of relief that they don’t have to figure it all out alone. It’s not about “fixing” them—it’s about helping them feel empowered and more at home in their own skin.
“Teenagers are not problems to be solved, but people to be understood. Therapy gives them the space to grow into who they’re meant to be—with support, not pressure.”— Unknown
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) might sound like something out of a sci-fi novel, but it’s actually a powerful, research-backed therapy for healing trauma. Think of it as helping your brain file away the emotional clutter that trauma leaves behind, so those past experiences stop popping up uninvited. In individual therapy, EMDR can be a game changer for clients who feel stuck or overwhelmed by memories they can’t seem to shake. It doesn’t involve diving into every painful detail; instead, it uses bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping) to help the brain reprocess distressing events in a safe, structured way. It's a little weird at first, sure—but weird in a “this actually works” kind of way. Clients are often surprised at how much lighter they feel after EMDR, like they've finally taken off a backpack they didn’t realize they were carrying.
“The past affects the present even without our being aware of it. EMDR helps to free the mind and body from the hold of past experiences.”
— Francine Shapiro, PhD
Art Therapy
Art therapy isn’t about creating a masterpiece—it’s about making sense of the mess (both on the canvas and in life). Whether it’s scribbling out stress, painting through pain, or molding anxiety into something a little more manageable, creative approaches can bypass the pressure of finding the “right” words and go straight to the heart of what’s going on. In individual therapy, incorporating art and other creative techniques can offer powerful insight, foster emotional expression, and even make the healing process feel a little less intimidating (and, dare I say, a little more fun). You don’t have to be an artist—you just have to be willing to get a little curious and maybe a little messy. Sometimes, healing starts with a crayon.
